| The Cheapest Toronto Phone Numbers |
1. How Cheap a Toronto Phone Number Can Be?
How cheap a Toronto Phone Number can be? As cheap
as $25, not per month, but $25 per year. This price
is offered by a Toronto VoIP provider Vbuzzer.
Until the day I write this blog, I can’t find any
service provider, traditional or VoIP, who can beat
Vbuzzer’s $25 mark. Here are more details about $25
Toronto phone number
http://www.vbuzzer.com/blog/voip-service/toronto-phone-number-25year.html
2. How Reliable of Vbuzzer Toronto Phone Numbers?
Very reliable, as reliable as a traditional Bell
phone. In the last three years of using it, it has
a couple of downtimes but my office landline phone
has more number of downtime. So this VoIP phone
number is at least as robust as a pot line, if not
better.
3. How to Get it?
Getting it is easy, go to this website
http://www.vbuzzer.com download the software in
order to register an account, then login your
account on the web, make a payment of $25, you can
then select the service you want – select the $25
Toronto Phone Number for a year. Bingo, you are
done! In a matter of seconds, you will get a
Toronto phone number with a 416 area code, and
start receiving calls made to this number immediately.
4. How Can I Receive Phone Calls with This Number?
Simple, give this number to your friends or
business contact, let them call you. You have 4
ways to receive the calls made to your new Toronto
phone number:
#1 You can pick it up from your personal computer,
with a set of headset, of course
#2 You can configure and install a VoIP ATA adaptor
to receive calls on a hardware phone set.
#3 You can set call forward within your account, to
forward calls to your cell phone, your home phone,
or your office phone etc.
#4 If your call slip through all the above options,
you will receive a voicemail in MP3 format
forwarded to your email.
5. How Can I Make Outgoing Phone Calls with This
Number?
You can’t, unless you make extra deposit into your
account, because this $25/year plan is only for a
phone number with unlimited incoming capacity, but
without outgoing capacity. If you figure you need
to make outgoing calls, you have a few easy options
too:
Option One - make $10 online payment and choose pay
as you go, Vbuzzer per minute calling rate is
pretty low: $0.015 per minute to Canada and US…and
low to other countries
Option Two - make $25 online payment and choose a
unlimited Toronto plan, in total it will be $50,
you get a Toronto phone number with unlimited
outgoing calls, to city Toronto, of course. Oh wait
a minute, the outgoing areas do cover some GTA areas.
6. What Other Functions Shall I Expect from The Number?
You can get a few very useful functions, for free.
Call Display – Caller ID
Call Forward – Forward calls to your cell, your
home phone, office phone etc.
Call Fork – Fork calls to your cell, home, office
phones simultaneously
Voicemail to email in mp3 format
7. Can I Use a Linksys VoIP Adaptor to Couple with
The Number?
Yes you can, you can refer this configuration guide:
http://www.vbuzzer.com/blog/linksys-pap2-configuration-guide
Here is a video to explain Toronto Phone Number.

| Canada Calling Card |
Calling card has been a long standing business in
Canada, since the deregulation in the long distance
market in 1980s. Coupled with flux of immigrants
and boom of internet, Canada phone card business
has undergone a curve of early adoption (1990s),
mass reception (2000-2002), and recession (2003-).
I use the word “recession” as the calling cards as
a whole are facing strong competition from
alternative products like Vonage, Skype, who
developed millions of customers from 2003.
My view of the calling card business is
pessimistic, although they are still widely popular
among many ethnic users, they are facing some
serious problems, unless these problems are being
addressed and solved, they will continue to lose
market share week after week, month after month,
and year after year.
Problem 1 – Distribution Channel verus Direct Sales
Before the cards can be sold to consumers, they
first need to be physically produced in plastic
cards, then shipped to all the retail stores, then
sold to buyers in cash. In the internet era, all
the distribution networks can be avoided, a service
provider can simply sell calling cards on the web –
because the critical part of a card is the PIN –
and the PIN is just a series of numbers that you
can deliver to emails or SMS electronically.
Actually, in Canada there are some electronic
calling cards
(http://www.vbuzzer.com/calling_card.php ) like
Vbuzzer. Compared to the web to consumer business
model, traditional calling card will have a hard
time to compete as their networks are indirect and
more expensive – which means they can’t compete in
price.
Problem 2 – Hidden Fees
Every time you look at a calling card poster, you
are gonna learn a few more tricks how to apply
hidden charges – connection fees, no connections
fees but administrative fees, higher price after 3
minutes, per minute billing, or very early expiry
days etc. They reflect the harsh business
environment of the whole industry, if they sell in
straight terms, they will look very expensive,
which means nobody will buy the cards, so they have
to cheat…
In contrast, in the direct selling mode, for
example, web to consumers, cheating is not popular,
the vendors avoided a lot of expenses in the
distribution channel so they still do fair business.
Problem 3 – Inconvenience of use
Of course, when you need to dial a 10-digit access
number, then a 9-digit PIN, then another 10-digit
or 13-digit international phone number, the whole
process isn’t very pleasant, right? Not to mention
that you have no call history that you can check
up, no bills to show your usage, etc. It is okay
when you don’t have other alternatives to save
money, but for many people it becomes increasingly
bothersome to use the product.
Problem 4 – Competition
This is big, and real. Whenever I open a web page I
can see Vonage ads, Skype ads, or somebody else’s
ads. A lot money has been thrown into the internet
phone business, or pc to phone business, and the
money has helped developing millions of customers,
this means calling cards have lost a few million
customers in the last few years. I try not to be
too pessimistic, but I can’t paint a brighter
future for the industry when it faces such strong
competitors.
Maybe I’m biased, or maybe I’m simply not
possessing the knowledge the industry players are
possessing, nonetheless, I can’t see any light in
the tunnel for the calling card business in Canada.
Here is a video to explain Canada Internet Phone.

| Vbuzzer Canada Internet Phone Service |
Canada’s internet phone landscape has been changing
fast, many services were launched back in 2005 &
2006, some are still doing well now, more
disappeared from our sight. There is one Canadian
internet phone service provider
(http://www.vbuzzer.com/ld/canadainternetphone.php)
that I tracked and liked from the beginning
throughout today, this provider is Vbuzzer. In my
opinion, Vbuzzer offers the best quality, the most
reliable service, at very low price, if not the
lowest in Canada. While using vbuzzer for 3 years,
I witnessed its constant improvement of the
product, the website, the functionality, and design.
1. The software – Vbuzzer Messenger
Vbuzzer Messenger is a similar concept of instant
messaging with pc to phone functionality. At its
launch, Vbuzzer is just another soft phone that
offer cheap but often cracked phone calls, since
then it slowly but steadily evolve into an
excellent IM.
- It offers all in one instant messaging with MSN,
Yahoo, AIM and ICQ Instant Messenger
- It offers VoIP pc to phone, and phone to pc
calling capability
- It offers internet fax over the very same Instant
Messenger
- It offers RSS feeds syndications on the IM
- Its user interface is neat
2. The website
Vbuzzer website has undergone major upgrades every
6 months, if not 3 months, I don’t have a close
track on their site, but every once in a while, I
can see that they added a couple of features here
and there, like call forward, call fork, etc.
3. The functionality
It is clear that Vbuzzer team is very busy, and
they produce result – you can see a bunch of
products listed on the website, from Vbuzzer
Messenger, to mobile VoIP, to mobile phone call
back, to Asterisk configuration, to VoIP ATA box
configuration, to video conferencing, web
conferencing, to video mail, to internet fax. In
the last few years Vbuzzer has made itself a full
blown communication service provider.
4. User Interface
The user interface of both website and vbuzzer
messenger have improved every few months, the
design is getting neater, cleaner, and friendlier.
Recently I found they also upgraded their account
management interface, which looks much better than
the old version UI.
I have a Vbuzzer Toronto phone number with
unlimited Toronto calling plan, I use it with a
Linksys RT31P2-NA router ( a Linksys router with
VoIP ports integrated). I always have dial tones in
the line and never had any problem calling in &
out, and the quality is the same as my previous
Bell line, literally, no difference in voice quality!
Calling other cities of Canada is pretty cheap, 1.5
cent per minute, well, 1.7 cent after tax, but
still, it is cheaper than most of the service
providers I know. With that calling quality I get,
1.7 cent is like a breeze, and $10 or $20 deposit
does go a long way with Vbuzzer, literally months.
Recently I start to use Vbuzzer as the only IM
running on my desktop, after running MSN, Yahoo,
and Skype on one computer, I start to look for an
all in one alternative, and I’m glad that Vbuzzer
provide this unified messaging feature. The
experience is so far so good, I never missed any IM
from my buddies at MSN and Yahoo. After running all
of them altogether, I decided to shut down MSN, and
Yahoo, and leave Vbuzzer only on my desktop.
So in my view, Vbuzzer is a superstar in the drama
of Canada’s internet phone revolution. Any Canadian
that is looking for quality internet phone service
should take a serious look at vbuzzer
(http://www.vbuzzer.com)

| Dialing Canada Really Cheap |
In general, Canada is very friendly towards VoIP
technology, so if you live inside Canada as I do,
you must have a long list of telecom carriers that
offer you good rates to call Canada. But if you are
outside of Canada and want to call your families
and friends inside, you probably don’t have any
handy options to call cheap. A little clarification
first: by saying “call cheap”, here I mean the
calling rate to be under 5 cents per minute.
So what are the quick options, if any? To me
nothing is quicker than downloading a pc to phone
software, deposit some bucks, then start calling.
If you have the similar mindset we can narrow our
search to an array of VoIP software for worldwide
internet users. Let’s take a quick look at them:
1. Skype
Skype is quite popular nowadays, and it’s no
mistake to go with Skype, the price is 2.1 cent,
but with VAT added, it will be 2.4 cent per minute.
Skype also offers an unlimited calling plan but it
has nothing to do with you – it only offers to
North American users where phone calls are already
cheap. So you have to go with Skype’s pay as you go
plan.
Upside: popular, sound quality and pricing.
Downside: none
2. Vbuzzer
Vbuzzer is a Canadian product, it offers cheaper
rate than Skype does when dialing Canada
(http://www.vbuzzer.com/ld/callcanada.php) - 1.5
cent per minute. It means 40% cheaper than Skype,
and with $10 deposit, you can almost double your
calling time with Vbuzzer then with Skype. In terms
of quality, Vbuzzer is slightly better than Skype,
in voice clarity, much better in voice consistency,
according to my experience.
Upside: excellent quality, good pricing, also an
excellent instant messenger with multi protocol
support.
Downside: none, except as a Canadian company, I
don’t know why they are charging fees in US Dollars.
3. Betamax series
I call it Betamax service because it has many
affiliate websites, all with voipxxx.com such as
voipbuster, voipcheap etc. Believe me there are a
lot of them. Each of the sites, at their early
launches, are typically offer free minutes to many
countries: US, Canada, UK, and many other European
countries. Once they build up the user volume, they
will require you to make a $10/$20 deposit and they
tell you it is good for the next, say, 4 months of
free call. You are happy so you make the deposit,
but it happens that you don’t call a lot in the
next 4 months, Betamax is then charging the full
payment and raise their price to very high. Then
the next site will be born shortly, if not
simultaneously.
As a user, you can play their game by searching the
new born site, and take advantage of their “free
promotion” – but don’t make any deposit as they may
require, because you simply don’t need to, why pay
them when there will be always new promotions ahead?
Upside: free or very cheap minutes when promoting
Downside: questionable business practice of
revoking deposit and raising price
4. Yahoo Voice
Yahoo Instant Messenger is a very popular IM, but I
have no stats to show how popular Yahoo Voice is,
it could have millions of users, but not myself
yet. In writing this blog, I checked Yahoo Voice
website, and surprisingly find that their call
Canada rate is very cheap, 1 cent per minute, yes
one cent per minute. I probably should try it next
time. This company has very broad product lines,
but the problem is that none is dominant. What a pity!
Upside: no comments as I have no direct experience
Downside: no comments as I have no direct experience

| Vbuzzer Enables Unlimited Toronto Cell Phone Calls |
Now you can make unlimited mobile phone calls
within Greater Toronto Area.
http://www.vbuzzer.com/ld/torontocellphone.php
Introduction
At an extra $20 per month, Vbuzzer call back
service allow you to make unlimited "outgoing"
calls within Greater Toronto Area, as long as you
have an unlimited incoming plan to bundle with it.
This means you can have a unlimited Toronto city
calling plan at a total of $45/month (the unlimited
incoming plan will typically cost you $25).
Toronto cell phone users have to, as their fellow
Canadians, pay higher fees for cellular phone
calls, there is no unlimited city calling plan
being offered, and even an unlimited incoming plan
can easily cost them $35/month. Compared to the
$99/month unlimited domestic calls that US
consumers can get, Canadian mobile phone plans are
pathetic. But things have changed recently, a cell
phone call back service offered by Vbuzzer
(http://www.vbuzzer.com/ld/torontocellphone.php )
offers great value for heavy mobile phone users in
Greater Toronto Area.
Price of Unlimited Mobile Calls
Now with Vbuzzer Cell Phone Call Back Service, you
can make unlimited mobile phone calls at a total
cost of $45/month - $20 for Vbuzzer Callback and
$25 for unlimited incoming plan from your cellular
carrier. The service is pretty easy to use too: it
requires you to dial a local 416 access number from
your cell phone, then hang up when you hear a busy
tone, the system will instantly call you back and
prompt you to enter your destination number. Once
you enter it, the system will connect the call for
you. This way, technically both you and the person
you called are receiving calls from Vbuzzer Call
Back System.
Local Calling Area
From my experience the “local area” is the same as
Bell Canada’s Toronto Local Areas – all 416, 647
area codes are covered, many 905 areas are included
too, some are not covered, these are typically
distance 905 regions like York Regions (Aurora, New
Market, etc.) Durham region (Whiteby etc.)
Other Calling Areas
The $20/month allows me to call Montreal and Ottawa
for free! It is really sweet, although they didn’t
make it official but they didn’t block or charge
such long distance calls.
The Chip
For some GSM phones, there are very thin chips that
can be embedded into the SIM card seal, the chips
function to automate the process, so you just enter
the destination number and press “call” button, the
chips work behind the scene to complete the call
back process for you, you will be automatically
called back and get calls connected.
It offers great convenience, I bought a chip from
Vbuzzer for a one-time $25, and I love to use the
call back since then, as it is super easy and
effortless.
Service Quality
The service is very stable. I use it for 3 months
and made a lot of phone calls, saving a lot of
money, and never had a single downtime.
Here is a video to explain how the cell phone
callback works.
